Guzman Blanco, president OF Venezuela,
said in an interview; The boundary ques-
ton between Venezuela and the colony OF
Delara is OF the greatest interest to Vene-
zuela and the United States. The English
are acquiring the territory OF the Orinoco
and the Amazon. and have actually taken
possession of the territory bounding the Ori-
} noco and it's mouth, an act which Vene-
! zuela cannot allow. In consequence it has
suspended relations with England, given
! passports TO British ministers and repre-
! sentatives, and has applied to the United
: States government to act as arbitrator in
behalf OF Venezuela. The English govern
} ment has denied the right OF arbitration
on the matter. Venezuela now proposes
to send an army to drive the English usurp'
, ers from her territory. As q result it ia
hoped that the United States government
, will intervene to terminate the question,
} requiring Great Britain to submit to ar
| bitration.
